The removable liner uses a stretch, multi density seat pad insert that protects and cushions against trail shocks. For ventilation you'll find leg vents allowing for extra airflow as you build up a sweat. To dial in the fit perfectly the shorts feature rear waist adjusters - keeping the shorts snug without any slippage. Finally you get a zipped rear pocket for stashing keys and valuables plus a convenient phone pocket.

About Baggy Cycling Shorts

Baggy cycling shorts are a great way to stay comfortable on the bike without looking too serious. They generally have an outdoor style outer with a selection of pockets, superior models often have stretch panels for a better fit on the bike and offer more freedom of movement when riding. Hidden inside is usually a simple pad or a whole inner liner short, if not supplied you can use a liner short which are available separately. Pads are fine for short journeys, but for longer expeditions, it's good to have a complete short as this will hold the padding better.

Great Shorts
Great versatile shorts with a good fit and nice sizing adjustment.
I am a 34" waist and the (recommended) Large size fits perfectly. The waistband is easily adjustable on the exterior by velcro, at a 34" waist I have the straps on the tighter side of adjustment.
The outer (main) short is very light, comfortable and gives plenty of room when on the bike, as well as looking great off it too.
There are 3 main pockets, the 2 at the front aren't great for trying to get things out of on the move on the bike. The mobile pocket on the hip is great and the rear zipped pocket is useful. Pockets probably arent as versatile as on something like the humvee's, but they are more than adequate when you use a rucksack.
The inner lycra short has good padding, is comfortable and a very good fit. I don't see any benefit in attaching it to the outer short but the choice is yours with poppered loops to enable it.
I ordered black and the shorts look good, although I would say they aren't jet black, there could even be a slight hint of dark blue in the colouring in my eyes.

Good for casual cycling and posing
I am not fit and have bad legs so was looking for a pair of shorts that flattered when off the bike but felt comfortable when riding. These certainly fit the bill, the material is pleasant to touch without the heavy synthetic feel of many shorts on the market. They fit well with a good adjustable top and the detachable padding works a treat when actually riding.
An excellent buy as the title suggests, if not for competitive road cycling, but then neither am I suited for that.

Did I get a Friday afternoon pair?
At first these shorts seemed ideal, I thought they would be light and airy for the summer months. The cut and fit was good with good pockets and fasteners. But this all tuned sour when I pit them on for a first ride out. I went to adjust the waist using the side adjusters and it litterally fell off in my hand. There was inadequate stitching securing the velcro tab.
I packed them up and returned them post haste. Credit where credit is due though, Wiggle refunded my money within about 24 hours of return.

Baggy Shorts
Really comfortable baggy shorts. These are ideal for the daily comute plus, with the removable padded lycra inner shorts, just the thing for longer rides.. The design features help keep you cool and they look the part.

According to the sizing guide, a 32 inch waist is a medium while a 33 inch waist is a large.I normally vary between a 32 and a 33 inch waist depending on the brand and cut of the garment.Do these shorts have much give in them? Is the waist slightly stretchy? As I've rather go for something that's a snug fit that too loose. Thanks.

Answers

Answer:

I'm a 32 or 34 inch (closer to a 32) - and the medium fits with room to spare (I have to use the velcro waist adjustments) - if I were you I'd go the medium. If I balloon to a full 34 they will still fit me fine. Yes they are stretchy - and they have grip around the inside waist section (same as you find inside the band of motoX goggles).

Answers

Answer:

I'd say generous. I'm a 32 or 34 inch (closer to a 32) - and the medium fits with room to spare. There's not huge amounts of adjustment in the velcro adjusters at the rear - maybe a couple of inches at the most.
